Catholic News Service reported today that while God is ever present in all creation, for the last two years He had not been present in Heaven. When God showed up at the pearly gate, the ever anxious St. Peter inquired as to God’s whereabouts for the last two years. God replied: “I was in Ireland.” St Peter asked why Ireland? God replied, “You do know there was a pandemic for the last two years, right? Like lots of people, I was working at home.”
